THE BARTLETT TRIBUNE AND NEWS 20 Oct. 1923
Bartlett and vicinity was shocked last Sunday morning upon learning of the death of Mr. George Irvin,one of the old citizens of this section. His death occurred sometime during the early, hours Sunday morning at his home near Ake School House, where he was living alone, since his son and family, R.Irvin had moved to town. His body was discovered in the yard, by a neighbor boy, who notified others. His death was evidently sudden, as the body had not yet grown cold, when found. It is stated that on the evening before he visited a neighbor' home, and complained of feeling badly. For some month he had not been in the best of health.
The remains were brought to Bartlett and funeral services held at the home of his son, T. J. Irvin,Monday morning, and his body laid to rest in the Bartlett cemetery, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. McCann pastor of the Baptist church at Granger.
Mr. Irvin was 75 years of age. He came to Texas from Tennessee in the year of 1870 and located on the Gabriel, later moving to where he died. In early days he was a most successful business man, acquiring several hundred acres of black land, also a splendid ranch in West Texas, where up to ten or twelve years ago, he spent much of his time looking after his stock interest. He was a member of the Baptist church,having been converted at one of Major Penns meetings at Salado about 40 years ago. He was a Confederate soldier, and carried the wounds of battle with him to his grave.
As a citizen he was law-abiding and honest, living up to the Golden Rule. He was plain and out-spoken in his views on public questions, and firm in his convictions. He was loyal to his friends and never betrayed them. May his soul rest in peace.
A wife and seven children survive him: W. V. Irvin, Aspermont; T.J. Irvin, Bartlett; J.T. Irvin, Winters; D.R.
Irvin, Robstown; R. Irvin, Bartlett; and Mrs. H. Winningham, Oenaville.
